3 1. INTRODUCTION AND OVERVIEW UP00B is the enhanced version of UP00A. As PIC MCU is gaining its popularity in market for student and hobbyist, more low cost and user friendly programmer is needed. Previous USB PIC Programmer, UP00A is obsolete because it cannot support Windows Vista, fail to program many new PIC MCU, further the firmware is not upgradeable. Hence, UP00B is now introduced to you! It comes with two ZIP sockets to offer program loading to 8 pin, 18 pin, 28 pin and 40 pin PIC MCU (8 bit) by using Microchip PICKit2 software. It offers a low cost yet convenience USB PIC Programmer to user. Loading program to PIC MCU will be as easy as 1, 2, 3.

This LED is red in color. It will turn on when there is process going on in UP00B. For example, once PIC is placed in ZIF Socket, and PICkit2 programmer detected it, Busy LED will turn ON for a while. Same goes while PICkit2 Programmer Read, Write, Verify, Erase and Blank Check the program in PIC. Power LED. This LED is green in color. It will turn ON once power is inserted to UP00B. When UP00B is connected to PC via USB B Type, this LED should turn ON. Program Button. Press this button if user wants to program the PIC. It can only work after everything is connected and HEX Code imported. This button has the same function with clicking the Write button in PICkit2 Programmer software. Connectors for ICSP. These connectors are used to connect UP00B with board or any microcontroller for cases where user cannot place the PIC to ZIF Socket (eg: PIC is soldered directly to the board). UP00B provide two types of connector. User may choose either to use 5 ways pin header connector or 2x5 H type box header connector. Created by Cytron Technologies Sdn. Bhd. All Rights Reserved 6

15 6.2 Connecting UP00B to circuit board via ICSP connector ROBOT. HEAD to TOE By using In-Circuit Serial Programming (ICSP), UP00B can program PIC microcontroller mounted on the application circuit without taking out the PIC from the circuit. In-Circuit Serial Programming requires five signals: V PP Programming voltage input. When applied, the device goes into programming mode. ICSPCLK/PGC Programming clock; a unidirectional synchronous serial clock line from the programmer to the target. ICSPDAT/PGD Programming data; a bidirectional synchronous serial data line. V DD (5V) Power supply positive voltage, it can be either from programmer or application circuit. This is optional to target PIC. If target PIC is powered externally (recommended) this pin should NOT be connected to target PIC. V SS (GND) Power supply ground reference. To load program using ICSP, the application circuit must be designed to allow all programming signals (V PP, ICSPCLK/PGC and ICSPDAT/PGD) to connect to the PIC microcontroller device without distorting the programming signals. Figure below shows a typical circuit as a starting point when designing an application circuit for the ICSP using the 2x5 box header on target board. Those unconnected pins (1, 2, 9 & 10) of the box header should be left unconnected on application circuit. Instead of using the 2x5 box header connector on UP00B, user may also use the 1x5 header pin connector for ICSP. Connect to UP00B ICSP connector Created by Cytron Technologies Sdn. Bhd.

16 Note: ONLY connect to ONE CONNECTOR at the same time. DO NOT tries to use both connectors to program two PICs simultaneously. Note: PIC microcontroller in the figure above is for reference purpose only. Hence the actual pin diagram may differ for different PIC model. Refer to chapter 3 for supported PIC models. Please beware of: During programming mode, V PP voltage will be raised to about 13.25V. It is recommended to isolate the supervisory circuit if interfaces with MCLR pin by using Schottky-type diode or high switching diode (1N4148) to prevent V PP voltage slew rate from slow down and exceeds the rise time in the programming specification (typically 1µs). There should not be capacitive component (capacitor) connected to MCLR directly. RB7/PGD or RB6/PGC pin are recommended to use as output controlling non critical device such as LED, LCD, 7 segments or buzzer. It is recommended to isolated ICSP signals from application circuit by using series resistor (range 220 ohm and above) as shown in the above figure. Furthermore, NO capacitive component (capacitor) should be connected to these 2 pins directly. During ICSP programming, PIC microcontroller needs to be powered. It is recommended to power the target externally. USB is not able to support large power usage. If target PIC is powered externally, V DD (5V) should NOT be connected to target PIC. The minimum connections from UP00B to target board or PIC are four. These include V PP, PGD, PGC and V SS (Gnd). Thus, the 5V from UP00B is an optional connection. If user is powering up the target board with external power, this pin is not necessary to connect from UP00B to the target board. Note: Please refer to the In-Circuit Serial Programming (ICSP) section in the datasheet of the PIC that you want to program for further information and special caution if any.
